    its much more of a semantics issue.

    Only to the extent that people do not bother reading and understanding the argument. It goes to the heart of what science is.

    you can test it.it may take a long time relative to a human life

    You can test all sorts of things. But that is not the same as an experiment.The essence of science is prediction. You 'test' would be an elaborate exercise in waiting for something to happen that can be explained after the fact. You would not be able to predict what would happen in an evolutionary sense, or when it would happen.

    Evolution predicts nothing. It can only explain it away after it happens.

    They are still being made there: witness this study which predicted evolutionary changes in beak size of a particular type of finch in response to drought:

    How does this differ from natural selection?
